Last year. And I'm just NOW taking the time to post a few pictures. It's hard to believe the time has passed so fast. She has been in nursery for a few months now and she is closer to two than one!
I kept the decorations simple, I made some tissue paper pom poms and some paper banners. It was nice to be able to enjoy the Sunday and not feel totally awful and rushed.
We ate Cafe Rio style sweet pork in the crock pot and provided plenty of options for either salads or tacos. I just wanted the day to be easy and a crock pot main course fit the bill.
Mina opened her presents after we ate dinner. She seemed kind of overwhelmed.
I made a small "smash cake" for Mina. It was banana flavored so it was "healthier." I made the mistake of putting it in the fridge so it was pretty solid when she tried to eat it!
James' parents bought Mina an adorable lady bug outfit for her birthday. Even though it was long sleeved she didn't get too hot in it. I was worried.
James' mom, Melanie, made Mina's adorable cake from a sketch I gave her. She is so unbelieveably talented! Not only was the cake incredibly cute, but it was delicious as well!
Even though it was over eight months ago, we are still so grateful to our families that attended. Mina got spoiled!
Love all the pictures!!! Nathan's second Christmas I am also the one looking way more excited than him opening his presents. Glad I'm not the only mom who gets excited :) we really need to hang out before your baby comes!!!
